Level 42 - Heathrow (Live 82)

Alabamahalle Munich, Germany 28.09.1982

[@davidboyce8683]

That first album is untouchable.

[@gtamediaproductions1]

It's like the best musicians in the world right there up on that stage at that time! They were awesome together! RIP Boon Gould. 🙏

[@nigel2093]

I don't think there was anyone better than Level 42 live 1980 - 1987 ish. It's easy to forget what an amazing drummer Phil is too. As musicians we all show boat it up front and forget about the guy on the pots and pans behind us keeping it all going.

[@alextw13jf]

Looking back at those years I now realize that Boon and Phil Gould were pillars for the band as much as Mark and Mike. One of the greatest bands ever existed.

[@petermeichan3160]

its was never the same when they were forced out by Paul Crockford

[@Turbomgzt]

Been a L42 fan since 83. Could write a book on them. But rather just listen to the music. Especially the live stuff 😊

[@justMe-rd4sw]

Who would love to see these four play live together again? Be a bloody dream come true.

[@bkkersey93]

Unfortunately 3 now.

[@darylchambers5945]

Saw them live a lot at this time. They’d use this as a “warm up “ glance over at each other, smile, and you knew it would be a good gig. Invariably, it was.

[@martinplatt5928]

Brother and I would pop over to Heston Motorway Services in 1982......I was 24, he was 21.....this was playing on the cassette stereo in the car.......just superb. Amazing band.... RIP the incredible Boon Gould.

[@CC007]

R.I.P. Boon Gould 😔💔🙏🏾

[@thesuncollective1475]

The best guitarist ever..the notes he lands on..amazing

[@zagortenay114]

Sta' better of you! !!!!!!!!

[@garryroberts5106]

Saw this original line up at New Street Odeon in Birmingham (England) in the early 80s - totally blew me away !!

[@KevlarVTX]

Mark King and Phil Gould, what a freakin rhythm section. RIP Boon.

[@zooropah82]

I just say, Level 42 is my favourite band. Awesome.

[@andyg4082]

Fucking awsome Loved level42 Since 81. Seen them 15 times. Hoping to see them in Oct Cardiff.

[@sastal]

Thank god this one's back! Their best instrumental, in my opinion. And this is their best live rendition of it.

[@petermeichan3160]

i don't know, Mr Pink is pretty bad, along with 43 and 88

[@dastardlyman]

without youtube i (we) would not be able to see this stuff. thank you so much to the uploader.

[@dutchboyP]

Mark King and Wally Badarou, my alltime favourites!!!!

[@Futurist1972]

Level 42 in full flow are breathtaking, their melodic harmonies are legendary. To those who have seen them live recently, so glad you had an amazing time! Love reading comments about their live shows. One of the greatest 'studio' and 'live' bands of their generation.

[@JJStubbs]

Saw them live a few days ago and they played this second song in. Excellent

[@sastal]

I heard they played this once during their tour. I was shocked when I heard that. The whole band just kicks ass here.

[@MrDiscordinated]

Their great , but. i dearly miss. mark kings NRG. 1982,83,84,85, UNTOUCHABLE LIVE . Love all love

[@LindyLou127]

Level 42 do the best instrumentals...this is so good!

[@dirkgobble3163]

Listened to this track tonight....awesome second album. Jazz Funk at its fucking best.

[@spartan9293]

Is it not off the first album though?

[@onestarnus8657]

@@spartan9293 Yes the first album

[@1000Zep]

It was on the first album to be released, but the second to be recorded.

[@steevidrums]

What a band!!! I came from watching a video of Boon's last performance.... such a lovely player he was, as they all were/are!

[@notton155]

I remember a 1982 concert in Holland, i took the wrong entrance door. i thought "strange no folks here?" Anyway we went to the bar to take a drink. 4 guys were also sitting on the stools, talking english. I asked "are you the band members of Level 42"? Mike confirmed. Untill that moment i never had seen a picture of them. Friendly guys. Which door we took? The food and beverage door!!!!! 30 minutes later on the fan's came in.

[@vinto34]

Top notch band at their peak...RIP boon.

[@stevedavis3868]

the best. funk band. ever. brilliant.

[@stephendiss8344]

Not sure this(my favourite)tune was but I may have been there. Saw them first in Loughborough in May'81. Followed them having bought The Early Tapes 'til they became commercial. Tracy killed it for me. Thanks Robert your a star now but more of one then. xxx

[@frankld55]

Last Wednesday they played this iconic Jazz Funk number in Paradiso. They brought the house down! After a breathtaking 'second half' of the show (after the acoustic break) they played Hot Water, Starlight, Heathrow, Love Games... Hot water was played in the vain of the Shep Pettibone remix (inclusing one of the most legendary funk breaks ever.) . The intro to Love Games was something else: Mark played the Bass beyond funk. Level 42:32 years on the road and still getting better all the time

[@Sansana]

I finally understand why Boon and Phil left the band in Level 42 pop era!! But that doesn't mean their pop years (from World Machine and later) are bad. They're still good but in different way and style

[@carolineupton1]

Takes me back to rock City Nottingham one of their first gigs

[@pippio]

R.i.p. Boon :(

[@sebajo82]

the ´80 were awesome...

[@Doobie1975]

Level 42 were at their best when the Gould brothers were with them.

[@rapturekevin]

I was there when we were that young. The 80's was a great time to be alive!!!!!!!

[@Dannob]

I have that Drum kit!!...well not THAT ONE but one just like it!!! ...same series, color! Still sounds amazing!!

[@sastal]

Saturday night in Miami, you made me smile. You met them! And you had no idea who they were...

[@notton155]

I still remember my buddy named John, made a slap/pop motion with his hand, followed by thumbs up........to Mike Lindup!!! Mike said, oh ehm (discrete pointing with index finger) he (Mark) is our bass player. Mr Lindup was probably thinking:" are these guys fans, our do they work here at the catering dept, haha! Those were the days, Hanenhof 1982 Geleen, The Netherlands.....

[@Sillysausage61]

I LOVE THIS SONG...........soooooo much, how about hearing it this month in Croyden Mark!!!!!!

[@dkcvv]

Really great!!! I listen to this album everyday.

[@davidsteen6202]

Mike Lindup looks like a young Keith Jarrett :-)

[@moochincrawdad]

He does! 😀

[@StephanWijering]

I really love this song

[@squirrelsrfun]

Fantastic!!! Thank goodness for KZbin to bring us stuff like this. What I would give to go back in time and see this live... Thanks immeasurably, Funkgalaxy!

[@jamespaul0121]

That bass sounds awesome!!!!!!!!!!1

[@user-dk3vr2en3f]

HAPPY birthday to Mr.PHIL🎶💝💜💚❕❗ 💝🎶miyoco

[@cambridgebasslessons]

Fantastic groove. Phil Gould is the best!!

[@jondee442]

Any know where I get hold of Boon's lead tab for this?

[@pmfg875]

Cambridge Bass Lessons So true

[@Digi4u]

Agree....Phil is one great underestimated drummer.

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Gary Husband is far superior!

[@cambridgebasslessons]

@@monsterjazzlicks Gary Husband is an amazing musician, no question. I'm talking about "feel' and groove. Phil Gould is unique and IMHO PRB and GH have never come close to emulating his feel.

[@Happy-Me.]

I saw this actual line up 3 times in Birmingham.

[@brentchampagnie9130]

Snap 3 time's in Cardiff 💪💪💪

[@davidavila3994]

My favourite band

[@Lorenzzini]

The Bass guitar at its best! Fantastic band

[@psicolor]

8-O! Der Mike hat mein Traumsetup: Rhodes, Prophet und n Mini. Und solche coolen Locken hätt ich auch gern :(

[@JJStubbs]

wow..never seen them like this before!

[@MrSilver261]

maximum vitamin B content in this track (vitamin bass )

[@jameswhite7997]

You can't argue with that bass playing really can you?

[@sporkfindus4777]

God, they were good

[@myriamhemitouche1458]

I love you mark King for ever ❤

[@tatiananovoselova3801]

They are great!!!!

[@zagortenay114]

Devono usare la pomata Fargan!!!!!!

[@johnringoo756]

Soo goood

[@BazzerObama]

Not only was Daley Thompson the best decathlete in the world........but he played a mean keyboard in Level 42 inbetween athletic competitions, who knew?

[@Sabbatmanpuntoit]

musica dallo spazio!

[@FatalReap]

Voor mij is het Steve Harris, Victor Wooten, Larry Graham en Les Claypool :) Maar Mark King heb ik recent ontdekt, en wat ik tot nu toe al gehoord en gezien heb, een top van een muzikant :D

[@neofunkyman1]

+FatalReap Louis Johnson, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller???

[@joseramalho3297]

Extraterrestrial Mark King! Simply too good, too nasty!

[@davidvincent1762]

Sharp.amazing.

[@lukoza1]

Love the sound of that bass guitar - so old style. Think Mark replaced it later with other manufacturers' guitars... the sound never the same

[@davecoalwood9487]

All day long. Fab 4.

[@cockertoo8920]

RIP Alan Holdsworth xx

[@weston407]

mark king is insanely good

[@zoe_anne]

RIP BOON💔💔

[@jeffplissken8996]

Were they by chance on tour alongside King Crimson? I’ve watched their 1982 Munich concert a few times and recognize the background of the stage. Wouldn’t be too surprising now that Mark King works with Adrian Belew and KC now has two Level 42 vets.

[@george00719]

happy days

[@dastardlyman]

very good! :-)

[@MoBass]

Hell yeah!

[@Doobie1975]

How tall was Boon? He seems to be a lot taller than Mike & Mark, to me Level 42 was at their best when the Gould brothers were with them.

[@bassthumper7331]

they jammin!

[@joshdean9105]

Germany 💜🇩🇪

[@jjjb9098]

@alextw13jf -very true. This was and will always be L42's best lineup. But, everyone knows that without Mark there would not be a Level42-regardless of any of the band lineups.

[@richardtherrien4696]

FUNKALICIOUS.

[@gideonsikk8733]

Smash that basssss

[@brentchampagnie7342]

Is that a wizard playing the keyboards

[@bkkersey93]

I see four wizards total!

[@stevedavis3868]

briillant. music. and. the best. yep

[@djijomurdjevic]

If there was no internet, all we could hear today would be Lady Gaga 'n' shit.

[@Mzssiralop]

Fuff of energy!

[@CatoMinor]

And they were only 24, 25yo old during that time...

[@Doobie1975]

Boon was actually 27, Phil was 25, Mark and Mike were 23 (Mark was nearly 24 at the time)

[@nataliegarrett8021]

I never understood why the choose of this name...it's an airport,isn't it? ta-ta-ta..ta-ta-ta..ta-ta-ta...glik

[@SlowCarToChina]

Boris Johnson should have stuck to playing the bass.

[@laurentquintana262]

exactly sounds like Stanley Clarke's Lopsy Lu sorry

[@Happy-Me.]

Very intentional!

[@leebennett2344]

I had the privalige

[@torqued666]

Meaningless chord after meaningless chord. I think that Gould split before he went insane with this stuff. The touring demands had to have been insane. Rock slavery.
